I would win in hand and play the king of spades. Obviously it is some kind of math problem.

Actually if LHO has AJx of spades the DK will definitely be onside, but they might not be 3-2 (LHO might choose to not lead his stiff with 2 natural trump tricks). If RHO has stiff ace of spades the DK might be off and diamonds will surely be 3-2. Also if spades are coming in for 1 loser then the diamonds are surely 3-2. So I guess I win in dummy and play a spade to the king? I guess the last case to consider is RHO having AJx of spades, in which case there is a decent chance it will be Kx of diamonds if the DK is on.

So yeah I dunno I'm confused. I'll stick with my original instinct.

Guessing: Win K. Cash A.
Lead Q. Win return with A.
  • If RHO played K, then finesse T.
  • Otherwise lead 3 towards Q.
